You can give me scenarios about missing people, etc, all day, but they don't matter in this discussion, because that is not the context in which the woman refused to give her ID, and the request of ID for intimidation purposes is a regular occurrence in the US.

I know, we got off topic from that, I already explained I didn't read that article until later. I have already fully agreed with what you are saying there.
